• Do not transmit near electrical blasting equipment or in explosive atmospheres.
• Do not allow children to operate a radio transmitter unsupervised.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING UHF CB RADIO
The use of the Citizen Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the ACMA Radio communications
(Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic
Development New Zealand (MED). A General User Radio Licence for Citizens Band radio and operation is
subject to conditions contained in those licences. The class licence for users and equipment operating in
the CB/PRS 477 MHz band has been amended. This radio meets the new 80 channel standard.
In simple terms the same amount of spectrum is available; however, radio transceivers can now operate
in a narrower bandwidth and hence use less spectrum per channel. These radios are generally referred
to as narrowband or 12.5 kHz radios. By using 12.5 kHz channel spacing instead of 25 kHz, the 40
channels originally allocated can now be expanded to 80 channels thereby doubling the channel capacity
and relieving congestion in the UHF CB/PRS band.
Older 40 channel wideband radios will continue to operate on the original 40 channels, however they
will not be able to converse on the newer channels 41 – 80. The newer narrowband radios will be able to
converse with all older 40 channel wideband radios on all channels 1 – 40 as well as the newer channels
allocated from 41 – 80. The mixing of narrowband and wideband radios in the same spectrum can cause
some possible operating issues of interference and varying levels of received volume.
